arms sales to taiwan in your question, we firmly oppose the u.s. arms sales to taiwan. we urge the united states to strictly abide by the principles and spirit of the joint communique and china-u.s. joint statement. stop selling arms to taiwan and take concrete action to support the peaceful development across the nation. this is very important in upholding the overall interest of china-u.s. relations. i didn't notice any signs of tension in the domestic situation of china. what i have seen in fact the chinese people had a joyful lunar chinese new year, the lantern festival, they are busy doing their own work, they are focusing their attention on pursuing domestic development. these are what i have seen and i don't want to see anyone making something out of thin air. when i view actually in some countries, including some developed countries, the people there have much on their minds. people in those countries have seen that china has sustained an average 10% growth rate over the past 30 and more in its reform and development. it has lifted so many people out of poverty
